• The ABC Book Challenge: books are Everything

Memorable books that start with “E”:

Ellen Foster

• This book was a hard read. So many emotions!

Eloise

• I adored these books when I was younger!

Ender’s Game

• This is one of the most influential books I’ve ever read. Although it was assigned reading in high school, it was one of the first science fiction books I truly enjoyed. I need to read the rest of the series! The movie adaptation (2013) was also well-done!

Esio Trot

• Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors!

Ethan Frome

• I think I had to read this in high school? For what I remember, I liked Edith Wharton’s writing so much, that I sought out several of her own works to read on my own.

Books I’d love to read that start with the letter “E”:

Eleanor and Park

• How have I not read this book?

Extras (Uglies #4)

• I first read Uglies in my Young Adult Literature class during the spring of 2011. I enjoyed the book, but have yet to read the rest of the series.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

• I listened to an interview with Jonathan Safran Foer last year on NPR’s Fresh Air, and it made me want to read all of his books. Plus, I’m partial to books set in New York City.

What books have you read, or want to read, that start with the letter E? Let me know!

• The ABC Book Challenge: ohh it’s Delightful

Memorable Books that Start with “D”:

The Da Vinci Code

• Picking up from Angels & Demons, I just love Robert Langdon’s character. All of Dan Brown’s books, so far, have been absolute thrill rides!

Dear John

• Whenever a Nicholas Sparks book comes up, I feel compelled to mention it. I don’t read a lot of his work anymore, but I think fondly of books like this.

The Diary of a Young Girl

• This was required reading in school, but reading Anne Frank’s story was incredibly powerful. I have my own copy, and I look forward to sharing this with my future child/children.

Divergent

• In spite of my issues with the end of the trilogy, I hooked from the beginning of this book. I devoured it, and the second book, within a matter of days!

Dreamland

• I fell in love with Sarah Dessen and her writing in high school. Look for an Awesome Authors post on her very soon!

Books I Wish to Read Starting with the Letter “D”:

Dark Places

• One of these days, I intend to read everything that Gillian Flynn has written.

Death on the Nile

• I first became interested in Agatha Christie in elementary school, since I devoured all of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys books. It’s high time for me to work my way through her extensive collection, too.

Deception Point

• It almost goes without saying – Seeing Dan Brown’s name catches my eye.

Different Seasons

• Over the years, Stephen King has definitely become a favorite.

The Distant Hours

• Oooooh! Historical fiction, plus castles?! Yes, please!

Dracula

• I don’t ever remember reading this!

• The ABC Book Challenge: It’s a Calling

Memorable Books that Start with “C”:

Catching Fire

• I love The Hunger Games trilogy. It’s one of my favorite series.

Chances and Changes: My Journey with Molly

• Molly is my favorite historical American Girl character, so her books have always been memorable for me.

Chicken Soup for the Soul

• I’ve read Chicken Soup for the Soul books since I was in elementary school. I still have quite a large collection at my parents’ house.
• I reviewed the anthology pictured above in December 2016: Book Review #25: “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Just Us Girls: 101 Stories about Friendship for Women of All Ages”

Columbine

• Dave Cullen came to Longwood University for a lecture. I wrote about it for the student newspaper, The Rotunda. His book is one of the most powerful books about the massacre at Columbine High School that I have ever read.

Books I wish to read starting with “C”:

Chains (Seeds of America #1)

• I don’t think I’ve ever read this, which is surprising, since Laurie Halse Anderson is one of my favorite authors.

Crank

• Tiana had this book on her post, and I added it to my own TBR recently.

What books have you read, or want to read, that start with the letter C? Let me know!

• The ABC Book Challenge – It’s a B-utiful Day

Memorable titles that start with the letter “B”:

Baby-Sitters Club series

• I devoured this series, as well as Baby-Sitters Little Sister books, for years. Check out my Awesome Authors post on Ann M. Martin!

Because of Winn-Dixie

• I don’t remember when I read it, but it made me cry.

Beezus and Ramona

• I loved Beverly Cleary’s books. I read nearly all of them before I started middle school. Ramona has always been one of my favorite characters.

The BFG

• Roald Dahl is another one of my favorite authors. I remember being assigned to read The BFG in elementary school, but falling in love with it.

Bleachers

• I own almost all of John Grisham’s books, too.

Briana’s Gift

• I stumbled upon Lurlene McDaniel at the library when I was in high school, I think. Like a few other authors, I quickly devoured all of her books. All of her books make me cry, but they’re well-written, and also somewhat relevant, too.

Bridge to Terabithia

• This is one of my favorite books. However, it always makes me cry. I sense a theme here!

Bright-Sided: How Positive Thinking is Undermining America

• I appreciate Barbara Ehrenreich’s writing, too. Al gave me this book for Christmas, and I eagerly read it.

Books starting with “B” that I wish to read:

Between Shades of Gray

• Tiana mentioned this book – I’m definitely intrigued!

Blood Drive

• I can’t believe I haven’t heard of this short story until now!

The Bonfire of the Vanities

• I’ve never read it. But, I feel it’s appropriate. Wolfe was a heralded writer, and I’m always intrigued by books set in New York City.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

• Another book I’ve never read. I love Truman Capote. Adding this to my TBR, stat!

The Bridges of Madison County

• I think I have a copy of this, somewhere. If not, I’m sure my library probably has a copy, since this book was one of the best-selling books of the 20th century.

• The ABC Book Challenge: It Starts With A

Memorable titles that start with the letter “A”:

A Girl Named Rosa: The True Story of Rosa Parks

A Girl Named Hillary: The True Story of Hillary Clinton

• I was immediately intrigued by this new series of books from American Girl. They’re designed for younger readers, but I still like reading them.

A Stand for Independence: A Felicity Classic 2

• Despite not having the original, beautiful illustrations, I love the historical books from American Girl. Felicity is one character that is close to my heart, because her story is set in Colonial Williamsburg!

A Winning Spirit: A Molly Classic 1

• Molly has always been my favorite American Girl.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

• I struggled to read this book in middle school, but eventually re-read it in college. I think it’s time to read it again.

American Wife

• This is my favorite Curtis Sittenfeld book. I re-read it three times over the course of one summer.

Angels & Demons

• As much as I despised the ending, I love Robert Langdon’s character!

Angela’s Ashes

• Another good book that I read when I was in college.

Animal Farm

• I think I read this in high school? Orwell’s fiction feels closer to the truth now. *shudders*

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret

• I’ve always loved Judy Blume.

Books starting with “A” that I wish to read:

Accident: A Day’s News

• I stumbled upon this book recently whilst scanning Goodreads. I haven’t read a lot of fiction about Chernobyl, so I’ll seek this out at my local library.

All the Missing Girls

• Al bought me this book for Christmas. I started it, fell into a reading slump, and stopped. Now, I’m ready to start fresh.

All the President’s Men

• Having seen the movie multiple times, I’m long overdue to read the book about the events that thrust Woodward and Bernstein into the spotlight.

All the Rage

• I just learned about this book from another blogger – Destiny, I think. Hopefully my library will have it.

American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst

• This book is in the stack on my nightstand!

Among the Hidden (Shadow Children #1)

• This book is on the top of my nightstand stack. This will probably be the next book I review.

And Then There Were None

• I love Agatha Christie, so I hope my library has a copy.

Anna and the French Kiss

• Several bloggers have read this book, so I need to satisfy my curiosity.

Anne of Green Gables

• I tried reading Montgomery’s books as a kid, but was never able to get into it. I think my mom has the whole series!

• Several bloggers have been raving about this book, so I’m adding this one to my list. Plus, I love the synopsis.

I love this challenge so far!
